[Plugin] follow me rotate

aleksandri · 12 Jul 2018, 09:37

somethings's wrong.. I can't get it to work properly

Go back to posts over a year ago where it's explained how to remove the incorrect RB file so that it at least loads.
However, since it's already been reported as flaky in v2017, its encrypted files might not now be fixable...

It's already been reported that this extension doesn't work in Su2017 or SU2018. See the previous posts in this thread regarding that. It appears that the author isn't going to update it for newer versions of SketchUp. At least they haven't yet.

As Dave says the original author hasn't supported this tool for many years.
It doesn't work in any of the newer SketchUp versions.
Under the terms of its notice it could be reworked and republished, but I looked at it last year and found that to make it compatible with newer SketchUp could involve so much work it might as well be rewritten from scratch !
So search for an alternative tool...

Is the plug-in module dead? Does not work on SU 2018-2019

If you read the posts above yours, you'll see that it hasn't been updated in quite a long time. Evidently the author has elected not to support it anymore.

I get this error in the ruby console:

If you read the last few posts in this thread you would know that this plugin hasn't been updated in years. It appears the author no longer supports it.

What plugin would be suggested to replace Follow me rotate for the newer versions of SU that would follow a bezier curved line?

pilou · 7 Jan 2020, 10:36

Helix along curve ?
(can't test on the new versions

duanekemp · 9 Jan 2020, 23:44

Pilou,

I'll give that a try. Thanks

hello, when I install the Follow me and rotate plugin and open sketchup it gives me Error: SketchUp: 1: in `eval 'and the extension doesn't work. how can i use it?

You'd need an old version of SketchUp. If you read a few posts up from yours you will see this plugin does not work with SketchUp 2017. It hasn't been supported for years. Best thing is to look for a different tool to do what you want.

andrea1980 · 29 May 2020, 12:48

do you know a plugin that has the same follow me and rotate functions for sketchup 2017?

Dave R · 29 May 2020, 13:04

Again, if you read the last few posts in this thread you can see that Pilou offered a possible alternative. There may be something else that could do what you are trying to do but you haven't told us that, yet. You could start a new thread in the Newbie category, share your model file and describe what it is you are trying to accomplish. We'll surely be able to give you guidance.
